  @cwebbonline I am all for going into gang areas in company strength. Complete with multiple men on overwatch, armored vehicles, drones, cut the electricity and cell service in the area etc. Hire vets. Let some clandestine element of the military plan it.

  Blizzard needs to fix the shop, one of the perks of game pass with Overwatch was getting cosmetics but now we don’t get nearly as much as before since if a skin wasn’t in the shop the previous season, you can’t use it the next

  @fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho

  For me bethesda. The only blizzard games (to my knowledge) that I've played are Diablo 3 and Overwatch, and both were, meh. People **** talked Fallout 4, I personally liked it. But then came that cow patty spaghetti sauce with used tampons that was Fallout 76 and everything that came with it, ridiculous $100 1st subscription for a broken *** game, killer Nuka cola helmets with mold in them, inventory boxes that ate anything you put in them never to be seen again. For me, bethesda fell the hardest

  @cresaint My problem is everyone acting like every company does this which they don’t I.E. Overwatch the p*rn is literally the models from overwatch like infold is probably just a well not rare byt uncommon company also they were selling it too

  Unfortunately I have having issues with my Overwatch 2. I need to update the bios for my PC, I will have to do this tomorrow but at the same time I will have to cancel stream for tomorrow. I'm sorry to anyone that was looking forward to the playing with viewers OW2 stream ToT

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset

  Problems of an Overwatch multishipper: - someone likes a ship you like - they dislike a ship you like - contemplate whether you should interact or not

  @enchandted Apparently they "lost" the files and data to this while converting to Overwatch 2, and the only way they can "fix" it is by completely remaking it. Don't know why, but I'm not buying that excuse of theirs.

  @PlayOverwatch Please fix overwatch 2 for the Nintendo switch 2

  when flats said this game is about mental it really is, this guy had bad mental every game i played with him. like i understand you wanna win but yelling at your team isn’t gonna fix the problem and i feel like if everyone in overwatch had that mentality it would be a better game

  @Blizzard_Ent I literally just got penalized in Overwatch because everything froze and crash while I was in a match, and it just happened twice today..

  @WeirdoRolo @RivalsLeaks I don’t play rivals or similar games like overwatch but there always seems to be balancing errors. Why don’t the devs just do monthly or seasonal community voted nerfs. Seems like that would fix the issues the community had no ?

  @trabucooo1 @OverwatchNaeri Yeah that’s kiriko, and everyone agrees its an issue, but she is basically overwatch’s poster girl and also i thoight u didnt care about skins.. so why are u speaking so much on skins now if they add nothing to the game?

  @CarlHigbie One or two overwatch plinks would solve a lot of troubling issues.

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  @Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.

  Grok (@grok) reported 1 hour ago

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.
